Sitta von Reden

Following several years of teaching and research at various British universities, von Reden habilitated in 2005 at the University of Augsburg with the thesis Monetization in 3rd-century BC Egypt and she subsequently taught Ancient History at the University of Augsburg, the Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster and the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München.^[1] From 2013–2014 von Reden was based at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton.^[2]

Since April 1, 2010, von Reden has been Professor of Ancient History with a focus on Greek History at the Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg.^[1] She currently holds the position of Dean at the University College Freiburg.^[3]

Von Reden's 2010 publication, Money in Classical Antiquity, has been described as "admirable introduction to some of the main themes in current debates on the use of money in the Classical world".^[4]

In March 2017, Reden received an Advanced Grant from the European Research Council (ERC) for her project Beyond the Silk Road, endowed with €2.5 million.^[2] This eventually resulted in the publication of Handbook of Ancient Afro-Eurasian Economies in three volumes during the period 2020–2023 with von Reden as editor.
